Abstract

A quali-quantitative vegetation survey of a secondary forest area in União da Vitória, State of Paraná, Brasil was carried out according to its successional stages. The structural chacterization of the forest was made through values of abundance, frequency, dominance and importance. The herbaceous vegetation was qualitatively described. Plants of apicultural interest received special attention once they are the reason for this study and their apicultural value was determined. In the intermedite stage of natural sucession, species with apiarian value summed up to a total score of 179,24 and in the advanced stage 174,45. Syagrus romanzoffiana was the species with the highest apiarian value.
